A team that was slowly written off inspite of being the world champions have bounced back hard. No wins in the test series followed by a winless tri nation series certainly created doubts in the minds of Indian cricket fans. But the team proved their worth with six straight wins in the group stage. Now the team is into the knock outs where consistency matters the most. If a team has to win the trophy from here on, three consecutive wins is a must. Can India win three more matches? That would be a daunting task and the first team on their way is in form Bangladesh. Watch India vs Bangladesh quarter final match live streaming and telecast on Star Sports HD. DD National (Doordarshan) will also provide live broadcast of this match in India. Star Sports gives options of live Hindi, English, Kannada, Bengali, Malayalam and Tamil commentary.

The match will begin at 9am IST and the venue would be Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).

The bowlers have been a key for India's success so far. Of course batsmen have played a good role but the surprise package came from the bowlers. A team with one of the strongest batting line-ups was considered to have weakest bowlers. But look the way Shami, Mohit Sharma and Umesh Yadav have rose to the occasions. Even Ashwin has proved his worth.

Virat Kohli has always been successful against Bangladesh. Let us see what does he have in store for us. Shikhar Dhawan is India's leading run scorer so far and Ajinkya Rahane is highly consistent. MS Dhoni and Raina did surprisingly well to take India to a win against Zimbabwe. We hope Rohit Sharma plays a big on in the knock outs.

Bangladesh have had a good last two weeks in their group stage. They can beat any good team at any given day. But beating India seems a daunting task. Yes they have achieved this feat in 2007 world cup but that was long back. 2011 world cup started for them with a nightmarish loss against India. Sehwag and Kohli sent Bangladeshi bowlers all over the park.

Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur hold the key in batting. Shakib Al Hasan, the top ranked all rounder in ICC Rankings can prove lethal for India. But over dependance on these three won't help Bangladesh win a match against world champions India.

Melbourne Cricket Ground has a huge seating capacity. So wait for almost 80,000 fans supporting team India and Bangladesh at MCG. Above all the pitch might support the batsmen, so wait for a flurry of runs. Too much of excitement for we cricket fans. Tune into Star Sports for live cricket action.
